Most communities on here are basically dead tbf.

Word of warning - I wouldn’t be running anything with a battery in it as a home server. If you can disable battery charging that would be much better, or removing the battery would be best - but don’t make this a long term thing.

They didn’t say it was accessible to the internet.

Homepage is the best one I’ve found so far. Home assistants UI is just awful imo.

I’m trying to understand why anyone would opt to self host an instance just for themselves. What are the benefits? A hypothetical that has likely never happened isn’t a benefit.

RustDesk:

You can host it all yourself, open source and free.

Is a hypothetical that is irrelevant. It’s not a good reason for hosting your own instance, which is what I’m trying to understand.

That’s not really an issue in reality. You’re afraid of an instance owner posting under your account?

*arr works just fine with “find something random to watch” if you set it up that way with lists.

Yeah it is, because you can just set it up to automatically download whatever you want if that’s what you prefer. You can just set up lists to watch for content that matches certain criteria. I’m sure there is even one that would mirror Netflix.

With radarr etc you typically download content and then move and rename it in post processing. You can’t stream it in Plex, as it doesn’t even show up in Plex until after all of this has happened and Plex has scanned the folder.

Of what exactly?

I’ve never understood the point of hosting your own single user instance - can anyone explain?

You think Windows is a dead end? The OS that is the overwhelming market leader in the category?

This is pure delusion.

So being encrypted before transmission and at rest isn’t enough simply because someone at backblaze can send the encrypted files out to you on a HDD…

lol

So your whole point is that you shouldn’t trust one of the biggest cloud backup companies on the planet when they say that your data is encrypted, with no proof that they’re telling lies…and you’re asking me to prove that they’re telling the truth?

The onus is on you to prove that they’re telling lies, not on me to prove what they say is true.

They say this about computer backup on one of the pages I linked earlier:

Computer Backup Encryption

Data is encrypted on your computer—during transmission and while stored. Block unauthorized users from accessing your data by using a Personal Encryption Key (PEK) or use a 2048-bit public/private key to secure a symmetric AES-128 key. Data is transferred via HTTPS. Enhance your protection with two-factor verification via a TOTP (Time-based One Time Password).

Is that all a lie? Based on what?

Time is money, and the time it would take to keep those backups up to date is not worth it over cloud backups.

(split in 6 accounts)

This makes it not really suitable for this.

Backblaze desktop is your best option.

Where do they provide access to the content without the user password?
